        327D.53  DIVISION OF JOINT RATES.
         Before the adoption of the rates, the department shall notify the
      railroad corporations interested in the schedule of joint rates
      fixed, and give them a reasonable time to agree upon a division of
      the charges provided.  If the corporations fail to agree upon a
      division, and to notify the department of their agreement, the
      department shall, after a hearing conducted by the department of
      inspections and appeals, decide the rates, taking into consideration
      the value of terminal facilities and all the circumstances of the
      haul, and the division so determined by it is, in all controversies
      or actions between the railroad corporations interested, prima facie
      evidence of a just and reasonable division.
